Upcoming Girl Group “UnionWave” with 2/5 non-Asian members set to debut soon



UnionWave is a multinational Kpop Girl group set to debut this summer


What makes them special isn’t just that they’re multinational in itself, but there are non-Asian members amongst them as well

Gyeongmin - Korean (‘00)

Chaerin - Korean from US/Russia (‘01)

Najung - Hong Kong Chinese (‘02)


Nia - Spanish (‘03)


Miriam - Italian (‘04)


Among the members are multiple spoken languages being Korean, Chinese (Mandarin + Cantonese), Japanese, English, Spanish, Valencian, Italian, & Russian


Non-Asians debuting in Kpop is not really new nowadays. From ex-Rania’s Alex Reid, to soloist Lana, to most of the members of the Mnet girl group project UHSN


It’s great to see the further diversity being pushed into Kpop


Anticipate the upcoming debut of UnionWave

    I hope it's not "forced" debut because looking at their age there is still time to train and make progress. But maybe this will be only one debut song and then after 6-8 months they will make comeback and with that way step by step they will grow on us.
